There are 2 sides of Jackie Beat; the Classic Big Girl and sharp tongue that I first witnessed in 1993's 'Grief'. Jackie Played the female boss to Craig Chester and was as convincing as playing a woman as Divine in 'Hairspray'. Then there is the Outrageous Jackie that was featured in 2005's 'Adam and Steve' and personified in 2009's One Night stand up.
This Jackie that came to Seattle's Re-Bar, this Past Wednesday, was an equal mix that worked. In 2005, Beat lost over 170 lbs and looks great. Her appearance has been toned down and was a true Pro.
Jackie Beat's trademark is her own lyrics to Popular songs, She sings, doesn't not lip-synched, and is as bubbly as Dina Martina (Dina's Male Persona, Grady West was in attendance), but a little more Offensive.
Jackie clearly had the agenda, "to poison every sacred belief and holiday tradition you can think of. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa or Ramadan, an evening with Jackie Beat is always the perfect antidote to holiday cheer."
To celebrate every Holiday (Even though no one in the audience celebrated Chanukah, Kwanzaa or Ramadan). Such songs included, the right-wing pregnancy confessional "Santa's Baby," a menorah-loving "Jew Christmas," a booze-infused spin on "Happy Holidays" called "Alcoholidaze," and the self-explanatory "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Syphilis."
The highlights included "Gingham Style" and a Brand new version of "12 Days".
Jackie Beat is the Real Deal and is better than ever and Seattle will welcome her back anytime.
